01What is being requested

The UMCG has prepared a request for quotation for three new Zoë modules and an Orb Hub to replace the outdated Emulate system. The request was published via TenderNed under dossier 392356 on 12 September 2025 and has since closed. Service provision and negotiation without disclosure are required, with CPV code 38970000. No known value has been specified so far, and no deadline has been provided.

This concerns the procurement of 3 new Zoë modules and a new Orb Hub for the Genetics department at the UMCG. It is necessary to expand and modernize the outdated Emulate system used by the Genetics department to enable the valorization of organ-on-chip technology within IPSomics and to allow work to be continued and expanded. The two old Zoë modules can no longer be maintained (being phased out by Emulate) and will therefore fail permanently in the event of technical problems. It is not possible to use an alternative platform. The Genetics department has invested 7 years in the development

06Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of this procurement for the Genetics department?

The procurement of 3 new Zoë modules and a new Orb Hub is necessary to replace and modernize the outdated Emulate system. This is required to continue and expand the work surrounding organ-on-chip technology within IPSomics.

Why is it not possible to use an alternative platform?

The Genetics department has invested 7 years in the development of small intestine-on-chip and liver-on-chip on the Emulate system. Using a different system would lead to years of delay, which is detrimental to the PhD trajectories of 4 PhD students and the start of iPsomics.

Which specific components are requested in this assignment?

The assignment concerns the delivery of three new Zoë modules and one new Orb Hub for the Emulate system.

What is the technical necessity for replacing the current modules?

The two current Zoë modules are being phased out by Emulate and can no longer be maintained, meaning they will fail permanently in the event of technical problems.
